i need to control de message rate hitting my content filter server (CFS).


i have installed 2 instances of postfix

1- recipient check, greylisting and holding mail

2- throttling to the content filter server.


i have followed the README file.

i have inserted in throttle one line as advised in README file.


-> 3) Throttle by IP address

INSERT INTO throttle \
(_from,_count_max,_quota_max,_time_limit,_mail_size,_date,_priority)
VALUES ('IP_FROM_1st_POSTFIX_INSTANCE',      # from
address
         5,                # maximum messages per time unit
         200000000,         # size in bytes
         86400,             # time unit in seconds
         100000000,          # maximum message size
         UNIX_TIMESTAMP(),  # current time
         5);               # priority of record

i want to archive this:

i want to rate to 5 massages over a minute from that IP

i dont care about recipients, just ip from the message came and message
count.

is that posible?



now it works just the first time i run the /usr/local/policyd/policyd -c
/usr/local/policyd/policyd.conf

im sending 100 emails the the same addr

throttle table is not changed

triplet table has 1 record with:

_from  _rcpt  _host  _datenew  _datelast  _count
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1st_postfix_instance_ip(just 3
octects) 1185294108 1185294108 0

it waits 8 minutes and send all the 100 emails.

what im doing wrong?
is it needed 2 postfix instances or just 2 calls to 2 diff policyd
instances, one on smtp_client_restrictions and the other in
smtp_recipient_restrictions?

any help, ideas are welcome
